Reaumur (Rene Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur (1683-1757), inventor of the Reaumur thermometer and author of "Memoires pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des insectes." - Translator's Note.) devoted one of his papers to the story of the Chalicodoma of the Walls, whom he calls the Mason-bee. I propose to go on with the story, to complete it and especially to consider it from a point of view wholly neglected by that eminent observer. And, first of all, I am tempted to tell how I made this Bee's acquaintance. It was when I first began to teach, about 1843. I had left the normal school at Vaucluse some months before, with my diploma and all the simple enthusiasm of my eighteen years, and had been sent to Carpentras, there to manage the primary school attached to the college.

His work contributed greatly to the scientific understanding of insects and their behavior, and he is considered a pioneer in the field of ethology (the study of animal behavior). One of his most popular books, "The Story-Book of Science," is a fascinating introduction to various scientific fields, from astronomy and geology to physics and chemistry. Fabre's writing style is accessible, making complex scientific concepts understandable to a wide audience. Throughout his life, Fabre published over 40 books and numerous scientific articles, earning him a reputation as a highly respected and influential figure in the scientific community.
